Size 0
No, a pencil is not a size 0 gauge size but a 4 gauge.
"0" is 8mm
5/16'' or 8mm
A dime is approximately 18mm in diameter, which is close to 11/16 inch. In gauge sizes, 11/16 inch is usually equated to around 17-18 gauge for ear piercings, although individual anatomy can vary. It's recommended to consult with a professional piercer for accurate sizing and fitting.

Yes. You're ears are normally pierced at a 16g then it goes 14g, 12g.....2g, 0g, 00g then you get into the fraction of an inch sizes

they will never close back up completely, the smallest they may go back is 0 gauge.
There are many places from which one can buy 0 gauge plugs for ear piercing. These include Amazon, the auction website eBay, Kings Body Jewelry and Fresh Trends.
It depends on the person. Some peoples will go back to a small size, just take them out and see. Wait about 3 months, if they aren't to a desires smaller size, you can try putting a fairly larger taper in your ear that will irritate your ear over night, then take it out in the morning, and it should shrink to smaller than before. Repeat the process if necessary.
